FAUCET AND SEILAR DEVICE.

Application filed May 5,

To ZZ 007mm t may comic/111i.'

Be it known that l, ALEJANDRO nii Bian- Nano7 citizen of llussia, residing at Habana, Cuba, have invented certain new and useful improvements in Faucets and Similar Devices, of which the following is a specification` rThis invention relates to cocks and faucets and the like and has for one of its principal objects to provide a novel arrangement of the parte of the saine whereby to simplify the construction and reduce the number of parts, and at the same time to provide a device effectiially preventing allleakage.

Further advantages will be perceived in the course of the following specifica-tion taken in connection with the accompanying drawings wherein like reference characters designate like parts and wherein;

Fig. l is a side elevation of the device.

Fig. 2 is a top plan view of the same.

Figs. 3 and el are partial vertical longitudinal sections on the line 3 3 of Fig. 2 showing the parts in different operative positions Fig. is a horizontal section oii line 5-5 of Fig. El.

Fig. G is a horizontal section on line 6 6 of Fig. 3.

Fig. 7 is a perspective view of one of the .faucet elements.

Fig. S is a vertical section of a portion of the device showing a slightly modified form thereof.

As shown in the drawings the device includes a hollow casing 1 open at both of its ends with its upper outer portion roughened to provide a finger grip l and the correspondin g inner portion screw threaded as at l. The lower end of the casing is in the forni of a reduced outlet 1.

As most clearly shown in Figure 7 a valve box 2 threaded both interiorly and exteriorly at its upper end is screw threaded into the casing 1. 'lhe lower end of valve box 2 presents a smooth portion 2 limited by upper and lower stop flanges 2, with diametrically opposed outlets 3 in the smooth portion.

A screw Il is threaded through the side of he casing 1 and bears with its inner end against portion 2 of valve box 2 whereby to limit relative motion between the box and the casing by contacting` with the flanges 2.

Adjacent the inner threaded portion ot member 2 is an annular seat 2 which re- 1924. Serial No. 711,217.

ceives a washer valve seat 5 made of suitable resilient material. (ln t-lie washer 5 is posi-y tioned a metallic washer 6 against which bears the end of an inlet pipe 7 which is screw threaded into the valve) box 2 as clearly shown in Figures 3 and 4. A stop' cap 8 is carried by the inlet pipe i for 'rinishing off the completed device.

Adjacent the outlet 1 is an annular seat 9 which carries a perforated plate l() having a central upstanding stem or arm 11. In the valve box and between the stem l1 and the washer 5 is positioned a ball valve 12 formed of any suitable resilient material. The valve 12 'is in constant engagement with the stein l1. due to gravity.

In Figure S is shown a slight iiioditicatioii of the above described structure wherein a resilient ring 13 is used to replace resilient washer 5 and metallic washer 6.

To operate the above described device it is merely necessary to rotate the casing l on the valve box 2 by means of the interengaging screw threads, the relative motion between tliese two parts being limited by screw el as explained above. Depending upon the direction of rotation imparted to the casing l the valve 12 is either forced into its closing position as shown in Figure 3 or is per mitted to take its opening position as shown in Figure 4t.

Having now described one forni of my invention 'l now claim 1. A valve device, comprising, a casing, a valve box within and screw threaded to the casing, an inlet pipe screwed into the box, a valve seat at the end of the pipe, a loose valve in the box and positioned in front of the seat, and mechanical means controlling movement of the valve to closing and opening positions.

2. A valve device, comprising, a casing, a valve box within and screw threaded to the casing, an inlet pipe screwed into the box, a valve seat at the end of the pipe, a loose valve in the box and positioned in front of the seat, and mechanical means controlling movement of the valve to closing and opening positions, said mechanical means being actuated by screwing the casing relatively to the box, and means to limit movement between the casing and the box.

3. A valve device, comprising, a casing, a, valve box within and screw threaded to the casing, an inlet pipe screwed into the box, a valve seat at the end of the pipe, a

Cil

loose valve in: the box'and positioned in front of the seat', and mechanical means controlling movement of the valve to closing and opening positions, saidY mechanical means being actuated byY screwing the casing 'relatively to the boX, and means to limit movement between the casing and the box, said mechanical means including, an apertured plate carried by the casing, and a pushei` arm on the plate and in constant contact with the valve.

4. A valve device, comprising, a casing, a valve box Within and' screwed to the casing, the valve box having a projecting, smooth, bored extension limited by flanges, a supply pipe connected to the box, a valve seat at the end 'el' the pipe, a spherical valve loosely positioned' in the box, an apertured plate carried by the casingta pusher arm on, the plate in permanent engagement with the valve, screwing of the casing on the boX "moving the pusher arm to control opening and closing of the valve seat, and a screw in the casing projecting within the same against said smooth extension on the boX to limit movement oli' the casing relative tov the box by Contact of the screw with said flanges.

In testimony whereof have signed my name to this specification.

ALEJANDRO DE BERNARD.
